Intel Core i7 "Haswell-E" to Launch in Q3 2014 an eight-core part around the $600 mark

Intel is planning to launch its 4th generation Core i7 HEDT (high-end desktop) platform, codenamed "Haswell-E," in the third quarter of 2014 (after June)

Finally Intel six core cpu at affordable price of $400 or around £250!! (Hypothetically assuming exchange rate doesn't vary much next year )

But seriously if we are are getting Haswell E 6 cores around £250-£270, what would be the implications regarding say quad core Broadwell or Skylake, price wise, i.e. would the prices be lowered for mainstream quad core Broadwell & Skylake? (I know I am jumping the bandwagon, but interesting times ahead indeed )

I'm with you on this, if the lowest Haswell -E is a 6 core and around £300, I'm going to go with that and 16GB / 32GB DDR4. I'll move up to an 8 core the following year when they shrink the next iteration of X99 chips down to 14nm.
